There has been a big shakeup in the Nuggets’ leadership team. General manager Masai Ujiri took the money and ran to Toronto. Which leaves a big question for Josh Kroenke: Does he want to hit the reset button, and does coach George Karl fit in the new regime?

Karl also has tough questions: Is he comfortable working in the final year of his contract with the Nuggets, especially when there will be pressure on him to deliver success in the playoffs? Or might it be time for him to move on, whether to the Los Angeles Clippers or another NBA team that might be looking for a coach? Listen to Lance Britton of Mile High Sports Radio and I debate the issue here:

Masai Ujiri is the NBA’s executive of the year, and for good reason. He masterminded a smart Carmelo Anthony trade, then backed it up by acquiring Andre Iguodala to put together a team that won an franchise-record 57 regular season games. Toronto wants Ujiri, reportedly offering to at least triple his salary and pay him in excess of $1.5 million annually to rebuild the Raptors. Is any general manager really worth the heavy coin being offered by Toronto?

Should the Nuggets let Ujiri walk? If Toronto will pay him stupid money, I say yes. Hey, we’re all replaceable. And no Nuggets fan wears a Ujiri replica suitcoat to games in the Pepsi Center. But Peter Burns insists that Denver needs to keep Ujiri, no matter the price. Listen to us debate here:
